Dakar
Overview
Dakar was founded a few days after the server opened by PolkadotBlueBear. It was quickly joined by many former citizens of PolkadotBlueBear's EMC 1.0 town of Alania and a few others. It plans on being a shining beacon of modern majesty on the West Coast of Africa.
History
Building Dakar
Very Early + Founding
Dakar was founded after a few days of the servers opening and slowly started growing, claiming the peninsula and then slowly claiming inland. It was decided that the higher-ranking citizens would share everything, leading to communal arrangements and no private chests among the higher-ranking citizens. This led to interesting arrangements and lessened the building on private housing so instead they could focus on more major projects.
Southern Expansion
Dakar expanded, claiming many chunks around to give itself more land. Roadways were made connecting it to nearby towns and railways were built. Dakar also started building the Dakar Arena for future events such as the planned Dakar Rally Long-Distance Running Race. It also joined Mali, seeking community and connections on top of a nation-bonus. However it struggled with the decline of Mali and as Mali lost part of its nation bonus Dakar came under pressure to either invite more people, or get a different nation.
Architecture
Dakar is comprised of two distinct districts, the Old Town on the peninsula with the Assembly Chamber (for the city-wide People's Assembly), Museums, and Fort Dakar. The New Town is the rest of it, comprised of usually modern buildings, including the Bank of Africa. To the south there is also the Dakar Arena, planned to be a fitting venue for any sport.
Notable People
There is only one notable, and only of minor fame, in Dakar presently.
- PolkadotBlueBear, Mod and Mayor of Alania on EMC 1.0
Government
The town is run communally under the guidance of PolkadotBlueBear, however PolkadotMonkey, MrBoJangles87, and StrangeRythem all work together also and share power within the town. Kvardek is a major builder who resides there and built many of the structures.
Political Affiliation
Dakar joined Mali, simply for claim chunks, but has faced problems with the decline of Mali. It is considered to be in Mali only temporarily. However being in a nation has its benefits, especially the /n spawn to other nations, but Mali is not a long-term option for a nation.
Diplomacy
Dakar was an early member of the African Union and it's only City-State (However it is in Mali presently, but maintains it's seat like Dakar), and strives for better connections among African towns and nations. Dakar also has built connections with their neighbors to the north and west separately in order to better bring about peace to the region. However Dakar does not presently want to be a major power and since it lacks manpower it often remains by itself.
PolkadotMonkey and PolkadotBlueBear work closely together in Dakar and in PolkadotMonkey's town of Reims. Both have perms to build at each others town and both are funded jointly at times.
